Description of the problem | Car stops moving while in motion. The first time (july 6, 2018), i was pulling into a local pizza hut for my lunch break and as i turn into the dirveway, the car stops accelerating and my check engine light comes on; when pushing the gas pedal to get further into the parking lot, the vehicle will not move at all. I had to put my hazards on and turrn the vehicle off then back on again in order to get it to move while pushing the gas. The check engine light remained turned on for 1-2 days and i was afraid to drive it far. Then it magically went off as i was taking it to the dealership (which i live approx. 1. 5 hours from) to have it checked out. It was at the shop for 2 days. The dealership told me they were unable to find an issue with it and "relearned" the system. The second time it happened (august 27, 2018), i was pulling into my local taco bell for my lunch break and the same thing happened as before but instead of my check engine light coming on, my battery light came on. Just as the first time, when this happened the car would not move while pushing the gas pedal down, so again i had to turn my hazards on, put it in park, turn it off, then back on again in order to get the vehicle to move. The battery light did not stay on. It has now been at the dealership for 3 days and i can pick it up tomorrow. They ran a 4. 5 hour test on it and also test drove it some and could not get it to duplicate the issue. Again, they could not find anything at all wrong with the vehicle and again they "relearned" the system. I have been lucky enough to get my vehicle off the highway (barely), which is a complete danger; what if the next time it happens, i am unable to do so? I am afraid to drive my brand new car, especially with my son in it. I have found several online forums where people are having the same issue with this vehicle. Something is going on and it is dangerous. |
